Cool. Lookin good. What are you planning on? Restoring, stock look, or performance look.

I have a fondness for the stock looking mr2.

Gairloch · 07-31-2008, 11:51 PM

Looking good, Janice!

Do you have a before picture you can show us?

grizzy225 · 08-01-2008, 08:31 AM

HeartbreakMR2, yeah I am going for the stock body look, I love it that way as well, she will be painted "super super jet black" soon, just have to find the right person to do it. Performance wise everything mechanical will be

haha
Already ordered half the suspension parts to do the job

I just have to get in touch with baktash

to order the sexy exhaust that was on back order so long ago.

Gairloch, I do have step by step pictures of the work, I wanted it documented but I have to figure out how to get the pictures up, I took the pictures with my camera and I cant load them at work(and unfortunately this is where I spend most of my time) otherwise Id do it at home. Ill try to get them up next week my boo will be on vaca and ill have all this extra time on my hands

oh and about the windage tray, we downloaded the toyota manual and I am going to more than likely remove it, we'll see how that goes

Is that guy like 8 feet tall? lol. For some reason that car looks like a scale model next to him. Maybe it's a funny angle or something.

im 6'2" and wouldnt want my mk1 to be any smaller, as it is the steering wheel kinda gets in the way of my leg using the clutch, and i wish the steering wheel could be spaced out a bit further

i used to drive a mini

Do you have a before picture you can show us? __________________ "Inside the car, the world beyond the driver's immediate horizon ceases to exist. Alone with the solitude of his desire, survival sense numbed by the speed, he's outrun the mediocrity of the outside world, slipped the shackles it tries to clamp on us all.
